Ruins photography

Sub-genre of photography

Ruins photography, sometimes called ruin porn, is a movement in photography that takes the decay of the built environment as its subject. While "ruins" may be broadly defined as the remnants of human achievement, "ruins photography" generally refers to the capture of urban decay in the post-industrial areas of the world. Ruins photography catalogues the abandonment and decline of cities most of all, and has sparked conversations about the role of art in various urban renewal, restoration, and conservation projects in cities throughout the globe.
